Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Yen coin from Japan made of Bronze (95% Copper, 3-4% Zinc, 1-2% Tin) weighing 4.5g is that it has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin has a rounded edge, which is different from the traditional flat edges found on most coins. This rounded edge was designed to make the coin easier to tell apart from other coins, especially for visually impaired individuals. This feature has been a distinctive characteristic of the 10 Yen coin since its introduction in 1989 and has become a recognizable aspect of Japanese currency.
